Hi Roger.
Have fun mate in my opinion its THE best model Armortek have done with the Panzer 3 a close second! hard to choose out of a quality all round series from the number one producer but that's what I think.
Coming together nicely.
Cheers Paul.

Re: 2013 King Tiger
I'm glad i made the right choice in the model type, i was hoping for a Stug III but there wasn't any available so settled with this monster.
Thank's Rog

Re: 2013 King Tiger
Did you pin all the suspension arms. Not in the official instructions but worth doing.
